The Bone Labyrinth

Sigma Force, Book 11

By: James Rollins

Narrated by: Christian Baskous

A war is coming, a battle that will stretch from the deepest trenches under the sea to the rocky craters of the moon, in New York Times best-selling author James Rollins' groundbreaking masterpiece of ingenuity and intrigue that spans 50,000 years in human history to mankind's next great leap - but will it mark a new chapter in our development or our extinction?

A series of strange events throws the world into turmoil. As a manned Chinese rocket explodes upon launch, three American astronauts, each separated by thousands of miles, are murdered. Then an archaeologist in Croatia uncovers a new cavern system that reveals elaborate primitive paintings by a tribe of Neanderthals. The artwork, painted in blood, illustrates an immense battle between the Neanderthals - joined by Homo sapiens - and frightening shadowy figures. Who is the ancient enemy depicted, and what does it mean?

The search for answers will take Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force 50,000 years back in time. As he and Sigma trace the evolution of human intelligence back to its true source, they will be plunged into a war for the future of humanity that stretches across the globe - and beyond.

From ancient tunnels in Ecuador that span the breadth of South America to a millennia-old necropolis holding the bones of our ancestors, from the lost archives tied to the sunken continent of Atlantis to the first moon landing, Sigma embarks on its most harrowing journey ever - and faces off against its greatest threat: an ancient evil resurrected by modern genetic science, strong enough to bring about the end of man's dominance on this planet. Only this time Sigma will falter - and the world we know will change forever.

James Rollins has done it again!

Great character development! Had an amazing detail in conspiracy theories dealing with the evolution of human. Absolutely enjoyed the ending and how everything was solved. Had a real emotional feel with how the author describes animals. I will be listening to more of these audio books! Action was greatly detailed as well as social involvement on how all the characters were used.

excellent story

Rollins has done it again. Sigma force successfully completes another escapade along with all the excitement expected in the storyline. Kowalski even shows an unexpected side of him. Really enjoyed listening to this episode. The narrator is excellent - he voices the characters very well. He made me feel as if I were there with them. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting an exciting adventure into historical fiction.

Any additional comments?

If you like a Clive Custler story try listening to this one

Good not great

Too many unanswered questions.
Left me wondering about day to much that don't be answered in the next book.

Well done!

Well worth your time and credit! The story of the Gorilla Balko affected me beyond words. The end will keep you wondering long after the story is done.

Another compelling story

I am always amazed at how Rollins is able to weave history science action and human interest along with action and adventure. Well done friend, well done

wonderful

Great story, it kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator did a fantastic job, reading the story.

Humanity

At times it showed the desire of science advancements and not fully envisioning long term repercusions. I also saw thatwhen v we make mistakes we have choices to fix them as best we can or see what monsters surface because of our actions.

things left undone

Any additional comments?

I have listened to each of the books in this series and have enjoyed them... This book is the first one I can remember that a LOT of stuff was left hanging out there.. Usually things are tied up well not so much in this one?? perhaps it was rushed to make the Christmas deadline, it was still a good book just left me a bit unsatisfied. will still try out the next one if there is one.

Wonderful but narrator left a lot to be desired

I've listened and enjoyed the whole series but was astounded by the narrators impression of one of the members. Kawolsky has been in most of the books but this narrator brought him off like a real dunce just by voice alone. No one of any intelligence sounds like he has an it of 10 when his actions shows him much smarter. I would have enjoyed the book more with a good narrator.
